GO is a reserved word in Commodore 64 basic V2. Replaced var GO with GD.

Aside from that: This little program helped me through learning words throughout "middenschool". Thanks for preserving a piece of history!

Thanks! You're right that GO shouldn't be valid as a variable name - however I'm aiming to record the programs unchanged, as close to their original source as possible, in this case a tape. I.e. I'm fixing decoding errors (checksum failures) but not programmer errors. There are actually quite a few bugs in the programs, often slight incompatibilities with particular systems. It seems at the time that was just accepted, and people fixed such things on their local machine.
I'd planned at some point to create a separate branch for fixes of this kind, but I haven't got around to it
